and i believed that with millions of people looking for jobs, it would be a terrible mistake to end unemployment insurance -- not only for people who are out of work, but for our entire economy. so we hammered out a deal that reflects ideas from both sides. it wasn't easy, and it's by no means perfect. and as with any compromise, everybody had to live with elements they didn't like. but this is a good deal for the american people. the vast majority of the tax cuts in this plan will help the middle class, including a new cut in payroll taxes that will save the average family about $1,000. and as this plan is debated in congress, what i want to make clear is the real difference it will make in people's lives. it's going to make a difference for a single mom with two kids in ohio working as a cashier. with this plan, she'd get a new payroll tax cut and a bigger child tax credit together worth more than $2,300. it's going to make a difference for a couple in florida earning about $50,000 and trying to put one of their two kids through college. they'd save more than $4,000 because of the middle class

been two beatings out of the six robberies and the most severe took place just this past sunday, people lookingor a good deal and all they're getting is ripped off. take a look where this began. it's on craigslist where a lot of people go for all kinds of items but when they look for a deal on a high-end car, they bring their cash to buy that car but there's no car, just thugs who take the money and beat the would-be buyer and they have done that beating twice. the crimes all happening in oakland. people from sacramento, stockton, all losing their money. police have advice for people thinking about buying the deal of a lifetime, getting on a good used car deal don't meet the seller in a secluded area. don't carry large amounts of cash. if someone or somebody looks suspicion, keep going. you'll still have your money and you can find another deal somewhere else. any kind of suspicion keep going. if you do find yourself getting ripped off, don't resist. because you can always get the money back. maybe police can catch these people but one thing you'll have is your health. this kind of thing has ha

who campaigned for it and then the slavery was abolished because people looked. a slave owner for all being a slave and said who gave him the right to do that to that man and once you are still question who gives him the right to do that then you have opened up a debate about democracy and is that what we're seeing happening now with these protests on the streets of europe well i think all demands by people to be heard. sometimes expression themselves in protest but otherwise you know argument or these are demands. central to the future advance of mankind and how has that happened do you think that we have gone from being a fairly politically apathetic population particularly in the u.k. to turning out on the streets in huge numbers and shouting about how government well if you look at it historically history is a good guide because if you don't know where you came from you don't know where you are or great trade deals have been made by exactly the same type of political campaigning i did women get the vote to get with you know there was a very little movement t

very different if you think one of the problems is gentlemen that when in the west you have people when you look at lawmakers and that i'm an american so i know the american example because a lot of them are lawmakers or former business people and lawyers and being particularly for naturally are friendly towards business because that's their backgrounds even if you're not someone from business you're probably a lawyer for someone in business ok so there's a greater knowledge of is that slowly changing here because we still look at you know decision makers in the administrative part of things they're not they may have some kind of legal orientation but it's not necessarily or very rarely it's business is that something that this country has to overcome and that's obviously about time and that had it's a generational project absolutely i mean russia was a communist country right not so long ago and and these these part of the of the education process has to has to grow and what i can testimonies that you are saying and really at a federal level we have full understanding of people and they're real

a lot of people -- you try to look people in the eye. times they break eye contact with you real quick. they're something they are uncomfortable with. you look someone in the eye and don't break eye contact with them. it's hard. especially if you're uncomfortable with yourself. last time i was in ohio, this goes for any state in the union. last time i was in union and i shook 5,000 to 6,000 hands and i look people in the eye. when i did that, the last time i was here, about 30% broke out eye contact with me. now i notice it was a challenge. yesterday i was looking people in the eye and they were like, "oh, yeah? merry christmas to you brother!" there is something happening. people are not breaking eye contact, which means to me that people are starting to really look inside themselves and say what do i believe in? who am i? what am i? and who are you? who are you? they're shoring themselves up. that's a miracle in and of itself. but that is not the miracle of wail mington, ohio -- wilmington, ohio. america, we as a nation are in trouble.

people directly. and what's interesting, to me, looking at the bright spot for america is that you don't have what you'vethe state intervene and give them those jobs or those benefits. this is the saving grace for america and always has been. they want to do it themselves. it's anxiety not anger at the government people are feeling. they want to fix this problem themselves. >> you wrote this week a column that was so popular about wiki-china. explain the premise and why that had some traction. >> what if we could read china's cables about us, basically. what the chinese would be saying, i think, is how polarizing the americans are about all the wrong things. that's what i think is really the big story right now, david. what people want to know, first of all, from president obama and politically, where are we going? if you don't know where you're going, any road will get you there. what world are you in? we're in a flat world, competing with 2 billion people just like us. that's the first reality. in the second realit how do you get rich where you have to make more people's lives more productive, more sec

people look and we see that some of the banks are bigger than they were. many of the corporate heads, the c.e.o.s, are still in place. this administration has faced some charges of being too cozy, at times, with wall street. what do you say to people who feel that not enough has been done to prevent a future meltdown? >> well, i think you have to look at each institution. and i think what you'll find is that the capital ratios, the reserve that the institutions have, has been mandated to be far greater than it was coming into the crisis. i think what you'll find is that there are a whole set of restrictions that limit the ability of one institution in trouble to infect the entire system. for example, that instead of being traded in the shadows, derivatives now all have to be traded on clearinghouses and the like, where the parties are responsible for monitoring each other and where they're all liable if something happens. so i think the risks of financial strain are still there. and there are very serious problems in europe. there are problems in some amer

some people look at it and say this is a reaction to immigration and it's a reaction of traditionally white or anglo-saxon americans to the growing diversity of america. i think some people might look at it in more economic terms and say, boy, did we feel more secure 30 years ago. there was less income inequality 30 years ago. average people could count on sort of decently paying jobs no matter what their education level was. some of it is connected to that, and i think some of it is this sense of who are we in the world now compared especially to china, but to se degree compared to india, and a lot of politicians are speaking more & about american exceptionalism, x ' we are still an exceptional nation, and i think that comes from a desire to hold on to that sense and that it's been threatened by the downturn, by a sense our power has been depleted by the two long wars we've been in.4l and so i think there is this spiritual element to what is a national discussion about our national standing. >> and kim, between the parties did we see a god gap again in this last election? >> and that
